wine talk that goes down easy

You know you’ve been there: on the street, desperate for another bottle, being filmed by your friends and without a corkscrew. Okay, maybe not on the street or desperate as with this guy in the video, but definitely without a corkscrew! Here’s a technique that Khrushchev would likely endorse the next time that situation arises! My only question: do you decant before serving? (Thanks, Richard!)

Fantastic! I spent a couple of summers in Bulgaria, where bottles were opened–just like this–all the time. Except they used a wrapped towel rather than a shoe. I only wish I’d mastered the technique when there!
Cheers!

Brilliant! I’ve mastered opening a beer bottle in the door jam of a hotel room in a pinch, but this… this takes “professional” to new heights. Looks like I’ve finally found a reason to buy Two Buck Chuck – practice!
